PARTICIANTS at the community house pickling and fermenting workshop last weekend learnt how to pickle their own veggies.<\/p>\n

The workshop was facilitated by Melanie from Open Table and hosted by community house and Healthy Loddon Campaspe.<\/p>\n

“We received fantastic feedback on the workshop,” said community house executive officer Vicki Forde.<\/p>\n

“Melanie, from Open Table, was a delight.”<\/p>\n

Open Table is a not-for-profit registered charity which aims to provide fresh, healthy food to the community whilst reducing food waste and decreasing food insecurity.<\/p>\n

“We learnt basic recipes for sauerkraut and pickled veggies and everyone was pleased with the results and the jar of pickled veggies they took home,” said Ms Forde.<\/p>\n

“Melanie gave us many tips and there were lots of questions from participants about what you can pickle and what you can’t.<\/p>\n

“We were given tasty suggestions on serving pickled veggies and firm fruit and other ways of minimising food waste, such as freezing, creative salads and other cooking ideas.<\/p>\n

“We will be back again at the community house with another free workshop on 24 May from 10am to 11.30am, once again highlighting zero waste cooking with vegie fritters and pickling.<\/p>\n

“We are very grateful to Healthy Loddon Campaspe for helping us bring these fantastic workshops to Heathcote.”<\/p>\n
